You've Been Peeling Bananas Wrong Your Whole Life

Most of us put our pants on one leg at a time and believe the top of a banana is the part with the stem. But with the right friends you can go two legs at a time, and with this video, you can be just like Drake when it comes to peeling bananas: no, not Hotline Blinging. Starting at the bottom.

Just like the monkeys do, grab the banana at the bottom (or is that the top now?), pinch the base and peel it with no resistance or squishing of that delicious banana meat. This will literally save you a couple seconds. Literally. Think of what could be done with those moments, lost forever in the torrent of time. You could be sitting near a loved one looking at your phone, or reading a short article about how to improve your life by doing something like opening a banana like a boss.
